Renting a home in Arizona is an extremely common Real Estate transaction. There are several things to consider when leasing a property. Does this home fit my needs? Is the property close to work? Is credit an issue? Is the property in my price range? How do I view homes for lease in Arizona? All of these questions are very common questions. This article will explain in great detail the answers to these questions, and help guide you to make sure you know the process of renting a home here in the Valley. The information in the article makes no guarantees to anyone.
Real Estate Agents are not allowed to pull credit in Arizona, however, most landlords want to see a tenants credit report before they move in to the property. If your credit score is not good, do not fret. Most landlords want to see your credit report for other reasons other than just the score. They are generally looking for evictions, past problems with landlords, and rental history. If you have been evicted six times in the last few years, then yes, you might have a problem renting a home. If you have run up a few credit cards, but have good rental history, then you will probably be in good shape. If you have doctor bills that have been in collections for a few years, but have good rental history, you should be in good shape.
Most landlords want to see that you have good rental history. If you have good rental history with a bad credit rating, they may overlook your credit score. It is imperative that you include references to your possible future landlord so that they feel at ease letting you move in to the property. Give your possible future landlord a contact number of who you have been making your payments to for the last few years so that they can verify you have been making payments on time.
If you have a terrible credit score with terrible rental history, it might be a good idea to find a co-signer. Someone the landlord can go after if you do not make your payments on time. It might be a good idea that your co-signer have descent credit rating. Sometime it is just a roll of the dice. There have been times where people have had terrible credit with terrible rental history and have rented a home with no problems. There have also been time where people have had good credit, good income, good work history, and good rental history and have had problems renting a home. It depends on the landlords agent, and the landlord to cooperate with the tenants agent and the tenant. If one person drops the ball the transaction can fall apart.
Since agents can not pull your credit, it might be a good idea to pull your own credit report before looking at homes for lease. When writing an offer to lease a home, the agent representing you can include your credit report along with the offer to lease so that the landlord has all of the information required to make a decision. Sometimes, the landlord is represented by a property management company. In this case, the property management company may want to pull your credit report. If you do not know how to pull your own credit, a good Realtor can put you in contact with someone that can do if for you.
